Pokemon GO's newest update features capture locations and Incense for the Pokemon GO Plus

Given Niantic's recent release of the Buddy update and Nintendo's release of the Pokemon GO Plus accessory, we can only hope that players have been returning for another whack at the game. Recently however Niantic is in the process of releasing their most recent update on iOS and Android.


It's not a huge change compared to some, but update 1.9.0/0.39.0 sees small factors such as minor bug fixes and the use of capture location - the location of which you caught your Pokemon - to display on the information screen.

For those eager beavers who preordered the Plus when the hype was real, you may be pleased to know that you can now attempt to capture Pokemon using Incense with the Pokemon GO accessory, making things a little easier when face-to-face with a challenging beast.

As always, Niantic signs off with the hope of another update soon, but wake me when the tracking comes to light again.
